Weather Forecast: The African Air Fades Today, Sunshine Continues

Gran Canaria weather: Sunny and warm in the resorts this week Gran Canaria weather: Sunny and warm in the resorts this week photosgrancanaria.com

09.01.2017: The dusty African air and southern winds that dominated the Gran Canaira weather over the last couple of weeks fades this afternoon. 

The wind is due to shift to the north this afternoon and will bring typical winter weather to Gran Canaria this week. 

That's sunshine and calm in the south and the resorts, mixed clouds and sunshine in the highlands, and variable amounts of cloud and the odd shower along the north coast. 

The change in wind will also flip the ocean conditions back to typical winter fare; calm in the south and surfy in the north. 

Expect temperatures of 25ºC in south Gran Canaria this week along with plenty of blue sky. The north will be cooler, but should still get decent periods of sunshine.

The highlands will be warm in the sun and cold in the cloud. Take layers if you go up.

    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
